These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of bleacherbound.com (the "Site") and any services offered by Bleacher Bound LLC ("Bleacher Bound," "we," or "us"). By using the Site or submitting your information through it, you agree to these Terms.
The Site publishes free written guides to Major League Baseball ballparks, along with ballpark and food ratings, rankings, and related editorial content. Visitors may create an account to save their own ratings and to record the ballparks they have visited, and may subscribe to our newsletter. Bleacher Bound also offers a paid subscription service that tracks resale ticket prices for games you tell us you are watching and emails you when a price is worth acting on, described in Subscriptions and Billing below.
You must be at least 18 years old to submit your information through the Site or to buy a subscription. By using the Site, you represent that you meet this requirement and that the information you provide is accurate.
Some features, including ticket price alerts, require a paid subscription. We offer three plans: a monthly plan, an annual plan billed once a year, and a one-time Founders plan, capped at 250 buyers, for lifetime access. "Lifetime" means for as long as we operate the ticket price alert service; if we ever discontinue it, Founders members will get the same advance notice as any other subscriber. Current prices are shown on the subscribe page. We may change our prices going forward; if we do, the new price will be posted on the subscribe page before it takes effect and will never change the price of a term you have already paid for.
Monthly and annual plans renew automatically at the plan's current price until you cancel. You can cancel anytime from your account, and you keep access through the end of the period you already paid for. We do not give partial refunds for the unused part of a billing period. Founders is a single one-time payment, not a recurring subscription.
Free trial. A free trial is available once per person and does not apply to Founders. The current trial length is shown on the subscribe page and requires no credit card; you will not be charged unless you keep the subscription after the trial ends.
Founders refund. Founders skips the trial, so it comes with its own guarantee instead: email contact@bleacherbound.com within 30 days of your purchase for a full refund, no questions asked. A refund ends your access to the paid features. After 30 days, and for monthly or annual plans, email us and we will look at it case by case.
We use a third-party payment processor to handle your card details, and we do not store your full card number ourselves. If a renewal charge fails, our payment processor will retry it. If it ultimately fails, your subscription ends and the paid features switch off.
You agree not to:
The Site and its contents, including the written guides, photographs, illustrations, ratings and rankings data, page structure, design, logos, and code, are owned by Bleacher Bound or its licensors and are protected by U.S. and international copyright and trademark law.

Except as permitted below, you may not reproduce, republish, distribute, adapt, or create derivative works from any part of the Site, in whole or in part, in any medium, without our prior written permission.

You may quote a short excerpt from a page for the purpose of commentary, criticism, news reporting, or review, provided you credit Bleacher Bound and link to the page you are quoting. Nothing in these Terms is intended to restrict a use that is a fair use under U.S. copyright law.
We do not claim ownership of the underlying facts reported in our guides. We do claim the particular expression, selection, arrangement, and presentation of those facts, and the original photographs and data we produce.
You may not scrape, crawl, harvest, or otherwise extract content from the Site by automated means, and you may not use content from the Site to train, fine-tune, or ground any machine learning or generative model, except that we permit conventional search engine indexing consistent with our robots.txt file.
If you create an account, you are responsible for the activity that occurs under it and for keeping your sign-in credentials secure. You must provide accurate information and may not impersonate anyone else.
"Your Content" means anything you submit through the Site, including ratings, scores, visit records, newsletter sign-ups, tips, corrections, feedback, and messages. You retain whatever rights you hold in Your Content. By submitting it, you grant Bleacher Bound a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable right to host, store, reproduce, publish, display, adapt, and distribute Your Content in connection with operating, improving, and promoting the Site and our products, including in aggregated or anonymized form.

Misrepresenting that material is infringing may expose you to liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. 512(f). If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake, you may send a counter-notice to the same address.
The Site may include links to third-party websites or services. We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or terms.
The Site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Bleacher Bound disclaims all warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
Our ballpark guides are editorial and informational. Concession prices, menu items, vendors, seating and shade conditions, transit schedules, hours, and stadium policies change without notice, and details that were accurate when we published may not be accurate when you visit. Ratings and rankings reflect our opinions and those of our readers. Verify anything that matters to your trip with the team or venue before you rely on it.
Ticket price alerts and any pricing information we show reflect data we receive from third-party ticketing marketplaces. Prices change frequently, availability is not guaranteed, and we cannot guarantee that a price we alert you to will still be available by the time you try to buy it. An alert is information, not a reservation.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Bleacher Bound and its officers, members, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or use, arising out of or related to your use of the Site, whether based in contract, tort, or any other legal theory. Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms will not exceed the greater of one hundred U.S. dollars ($100) or the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Bleacher Bound from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Site.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Site will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Denver County, Colorado, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
We may update these Terms as Bleacher Bound grows. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, for any reason, including violation of these Terms. If we terminate a paid account for violating these Terms, you are not entitled to a refund except as required by law or as stated in Subscriptions and Billing above. The provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law) will survive.
